Iowa City Liberty seniors hold heads high after quarterfinal loss to Ankeny

ANKENY – Iowa City Liberty has enjoyed a great run that has elevated the program to new heights. Lightning seniors helped the program reach its first semifinals each of the last two seasons, including the first state runner-up finish a year ago. Liberty looked to extend that streak but Ankeny was a roadblock in the path back to the UNI-Dome. Ankeny quarterback Mason Machan passed for 211 and four touchdowns, adding a 65-yard scoring run, powering the fifth-ranked Hawks to a 51-29 victory over the Lighting in a Class 5A state football quarterfinal Friday night at Ankeny Stadium. It may not have ended the way they have hoped but it's been a great ride for the Lightning seniors. “It's been wonderful," said Liberty senior Pryor Reiners, who had 103 yards and a TD on a game-high seven receptions. “God blessed me with this wonderful team, coaching staff, friends and family. I'm thankful for the Lord, every single coach that has been coaching me since my sophomore year and everyone else. It's the best coaching staff in the state, no doubt. "I'm going to miss it. We're all going to miss it but they got another run to go next year."

Iowa Regents to choose new leader for UI center after rocky start

The Iowa Board of Regents will interview and decide on the next permanent director for the University of Iowa's Center for Intellectual Freedom at its next board meeting. During a meeting of the center's advisory council on Friday, Nov. 6, the council voted forward two candidates for the Regents to consider at their Wednesday, Nov. 11, meeting in Ames. The council did not release the candidates' names. The candidates will have closed-session interviews with the regents before the regents announce and vote on the pick during Wednesday's meeting. More: Nebraska Omaha professor rejects Center for Intellectual Freedom offer The Center for Intellectual Freedom was created in 2025 to address what Republican lawmakers said was a hostile environment for conservatives in higher education. It aims to promote intellectual diversity and the free exchange of ideas. It soon will be charged with offering civics courses to all University of Iowa students. The new search comes after the regents offered the job to University of Nebraska at Omaha political science professor Carson Holloway. He declined the position on Tuesday, Nov. 3, to take one at the University of Florida at Gainesville. The process comes as the center is without a director after interim

Kirkwood Iowa Student Spotlight: Patrick Peach

Patrick Peach, a junior at Iowa Valley High School, has been featured in the Kirkwood Iowa County winter newsletter. According to the newsletter, Peach began taking duel credit courses through Kirkwood as a high school freshman. “My favorite courses that I have taken through Kirkwood is probably Calculus I and II, because I am a huge math fan.” Peach said he learned a lot about the world through the sociology and world religion class he attended. “It opened my eyes to what happens in the whole world and not just this little slice in Iowa,” he said. Peach said in the newsletter that while all of his Kirkwood professors made a lasting difference in his life, Nathan Eric Dickman probably made the most difference. “His world religion class help open up my worldview and changed how I think about the world outside of Iowa. His replies on discussion posts were also very helpful in understanding these cultures that are so different than our own,” Peach said. Taking dual credit classes in high school can help prepare students for college, Peach said in the newsletter. The classes teach time management and how to handle the workload of college classes. “However they
